Bheema (2008)

Sekhar idolizes Chinna since childhood and suddenly joins his gang in Chennai. His gang is known for standing by the poor. Sekhar rises up the ranks and soon he carries the entire gang's load on his shoulders and he is Chinna's 'man-friday'. There is an opposing gang as well led by 'Periyavar'. There are frequent attempts by that gang to get rid of Chinna's.

The police finally decides to put a stop to this and Operation Bheema is born, one where all the gangsters will be shot at sight i.e. encounter. There is also a beautiful college girl who falls in love with Sekhar and his macho ways, an exclusive cinematic occurrence. She elopes from home and also gets married to him.

There is a tragic climax where all the gangsters are killed for one reason or the other. An abrupt climax that was shot when the director didn't have any other clue and just wanted a message to be shown out of these deaths after the climax.

Hits

• Harris Jeyaraj's songs and his BGM are the single biggest highlight of the movie
• Vikram's body hugging T shirts and cargo pants accentuate his solid physique. He looks very handsome in the movie. His pairing with the beautiful Trisha is cool. Their love scenes are decent though utterly cinematic. 
• Prakash Raj is majestic as always. But in the flashback, showing him as someone about 25 yrs elder to Vikram is a big joke. Prakash Raj looks so young. Thalaivasal Vijay and Raghuvaran have substantial roles and they pull it off with ease, Vijay in particular. 

Misses

• The tragic climax is out of the blue and looks hurried. Clueless Lingusamy. 

VERDICT

Just about average. Lingusamy just can't handle gangsters and stuff. He is better off doing light hearted films.
